How much of ourselves do we reveal as writers? I’m honest sometimes. Brutally honest, especially with myself. Maybe cruel is a more accurate portrait of how I treat myself? But ultimately I’m honest even if that honesty hurts. I didn’t start blogging to have a platform for my writing, I started because I wanted to …

Working title for the Five Sentence Fiction saga that is Terry’s existence. You can read what’s up so far here. Prompt: Whisper — The room took on a hazy feeling as he sat up in the bed, his arousal flagging to half mast under the fear flooding his veins. “What do you mean, ‘My secret’,” …

This is a quick. unedited response to a photo I saw on Littlekaninchen’s site. It neither underscores the point I was trying to make in the previous post, nor has any romantic inclinations. I guess I should say it doesn’t always have to make you think deeply to be worth writing. It’s mature content, my …

I was just reading a few posts by Remittance Girl. (I tend to mention her a fair amount because I admire her writing style a great deal.

For the record, I do like writing. It’s the editing and the constant revising I hate. Either it results in a better story, or in me pulling my hair out from the roots… So, I wanted to talk a little about the short story I wrote titled Please. I sent it out to betas and …

Don’t start writing if you can help it. This isn’t an easy thing, writing a story. Oh, it seems very easy, but just when you think your story is amazing and finished, someone reads it and tells you that it’s not good enough. So, you head back to the drawing board and start editing and …

I’ve moved. I want to continue building some kind of readership for my writing, but not with the situation I’m currently in. So I’ve changed a few things. First: I have a new site.
